Companies should provide all equipment necessary to perform work related functions.

Very entitled. Go work construction or as a mechanic or even a welder. 99 times out a 100 they have to buy their own tools. This mentality in tech that the company should coddle to your every whim on equipment is isolated to tech and doesn't exist outside of it. They do it though and then everyone bitches about the equipment, destroys it and complains that the company doesn't do better.

Well how about we move to zerotrust and just use whatever device we want? I already do this at work. I use my personal device and all the apps are isolated from my stuff. I dont have to have multiple devices and I can upgrade it whenever the hell I want.

Biden can't even spell cybersecurity. This is being pushed by some low level hack with no understanding of the topic. Worse, they'll just appoint some czar to it and it will go nowhere but still cost 100 billion somehow. Can't wait for the nonbinary pansexual transracial paraplegic they put in charge of this one.

I've been ahead of the curve on this for over a decade. I used to just stay home and work, pissing off people I worked with who traveled every day. They would literally scream and yell at me about it and I'd just...... stay home. My work got done so bosses didnt care too much. I was more productive then they were because they sat in a cubicle farm pissing their life away while I didnt have a drive.

I remember talking to one of them and asking why he came in at all when he sat in meetings on Skype for Business all day with the various people around the world. "You could do that at home." I said and it started to click with him. If I did come into the office it was to do what I needed to and then I left, 3-4 hours tops usually. That made them even angrier.

When Covid and work from home became a thing I was already home, all set up. It took them 9 months to settle in and work things out. They had long meetings on topics like "How to effectively work from home" that I skipped because I was already doing it. Now they all get what I was talking about. It took a worldwide pandemic for the sheep to figure it out.

Most of us need to take a stand more often on things that just dont make sense.

This is mindless.

Companies have to raise prices during fearful times in order to profit now so they can cover the potential losses later.

I jacked my prices up BIG TIME in early COVID because I didn't know if I would be out of work in 2 years. I made a fortune in 2020 and half a fortune in 2021 as things equalized and nothing really bad happened.

I deserved that profit for taking a risk, tho. If things would have gotten shut down for me, I would have had enough cash to weather 2-3 years of outage and rebuild my businesses.

To wit, fuck you for your collectivism.

I am no conservative nor MAGA fan but I do believe Facebook etc acted as State actors during Covid and should be regulated as a State entity.

I have only registered and voted Democrat in my entire life and I am serious about putting some of these social network barons up in front of the Nuremberg courts version 2.

I tried to do it, actually.

1. I have no need for extra money.

2. I drive an oddball 2 door electric so Uber and Lyft said no.

3. I would love to help someone get to a destination cheap or even free if I'm heading that way.

I scheduled rides (even to the store, etc) way in advance and never had a single bite -- even though I live in a very busy area and drive to very busy areas.

I would LOVE for Google to connect me to riders, even if it was free, just so I could help folks out.

I have zero fear of someone kidnapping me. I'm armed anyway.
